24, owner
"I don't know. In fact, I haven't seen him yet, and I haven't even heard his voice. He conveyed the order to us through the falling girl." Aunt Hong shook her head and said, "Mr. Liu is a regular guest here. I'm really not afraid of your joke. Our Hongxiu Building was originally the property of the Cheng family. After it was bought by the new owner, the Cheng family didn't even say a word, as if this matter had nothing to do with them at all. Even the second father-in-law, who was responsible for all the business of the Cheng family in the capital. Zicheng Yuanpan, they all brought words to let us serve the new owner well. We must not have a heart, otherwise he can't even keep me. I asked Aunt Hua in private that her situation was similar to mine. Tianxiang Pavilion was originally the property of the Xiang family. Since it was bought by the new owner, the Xiang family has brought a message to Aunt Hua, saying that the Xiang family has nothing to do with her. Therefore, Aunt Hua also determined to run a good business and serve the new owner.
Liu Shaoyun's face changed again. This new owner really has extraordinary methods. I don't know what this person's plan is.
Aunt Hong saw Liu Shaoyun's frightened face and said, "Mr. Liu, in fact, you can ask Miss Meng. The owner of Miss Meng was invited by me in person, and according to Shen'er, the relationship between the owner and Miss Meng is extraordinary, as if she is still a distant relative of the owner, so we can only treat Miss Meng as a fairy here. I absolutely dare not force her to do anything. If you can get any information from Dream Girl, it's much better than those of us who want to do things.
Liu Shaoyun nodded and said, "In this way, I have to see this dream girl."
Aunt Hong sighed and said, "Then Mr. Liu, you'd better come with the old man, but I'll ask Mr. Liu to show mercy and don't live too much. We subordinates still expect the owner to enjoy a meal."
Liu Shaoyun's temper is well known. Although his talent is amazing, his smelly and hard temper is more amazing than his talent. Aunt Hong knew that Master Liu's lips and tongue sword were amazing, and she didn't forget to remind him again.
Turning around the cloister, a very elegant small building appeared.
Liu Shaoyun's eyes stagnated. This small building is definitely not a building that existed before, but was built after the merger of Hongxiu Building and Tianxiang Pavilion. But at this moment, there is no trace of new construction in this new building, but it is very antique.
"Your owner is really powerful. This red-sleeved Tianxiangxuan has only been more than a month since the ground was broken. He has not only planted so many precious flowers and trees, but also built such a unique small building. Can these really be done in a month? Liu Shaoyun sneered and said, "I'm not very clear about anything else, but not to mention that such a building has been built. Even if the ready-made materials are here, it's good to build the shelf in a month, not to mention the carved beams and paintings."
"Believe it or not, this small building will indeed be built in a few days." Aunt Hong's eyes at the small building were also worth playing. She said, "At that time, I could hardly believe my eyes. Miss Fallen blocked the backyard. We only heard the sound of knocking from inside outside. Seven days later, Miss Fallen reopened the door. The small building, including the surrounding scenery, was completed in this way."
"Didn't you climb the wall to have a look?" Liu Shaoyun was surprised.
"We also want to, but the girl said that whoever dares to peep, she will dig out her eyes. If she can't dig out the peeping person, she will dig her own. Even if we are full of doubts, we dare not climb up and have a look. Otherwise, we will really be found and dig out our eyes.
Liu Shaoyun took a breath of cold air. This girl is really a cruel character. It seems that this magical backyard really has nothing to do with her.
"Who is the falling girl? Have I seen her?" Liu Shaoyun calmed down his mood and said.
Aunt Hong nodded slightly and said, "When the dream girl was playing just now, the falling girl stood behind him, the one in green clothes. The other is the girl Yuaner who has been following Miss Meng and serving her.
Liu Shaoyun recalled that when the dream girl was playing just now, there were indeed two women serving on the small stage. They were all covered with veils and could faintly see their own bad faces. One in green clothes stood on the left, and the other in a light purple jacket, standing on the right. When Miss Meng played, everyone looked at her. The two maids were only noticed by him a few times because they were also mysteriously wearing the veil. At this moment, they didn't deliberately recall it, but they really couldn't remember it.
As she spoke, a woman came out of the corner of the cloister and saw Aunt Hong still standing there. She said, "Aunt Hong, this is Mr. Liu. Miss Meng has been waiting for him for a long time. I'll take him in. You go to the front to greet the guests."
Liu Shaoyun looked at the sound, but saw a veiled woman in green standing around the corner and said coldly, "Today is the first day to entertain guests. Don't lose your courtesy. For the remaining seven bowls of peach blossom porridge, except for Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhong, you can distribute the rest by yourself. You don't have to ask for instructions again.
Aunt Hong quickly bowed down and said, "Yes, please don't worry."
Xianger no longer paid attention to Aunt Hong and bowed slightly to Liu Shaoyun and said, "Mr. Liu, please follow me."
Liu Shaoyun couldn't help looking at this maid with new eyes. As a maid, she has such an aura. It's really rare. She is more imposing than an ordinary lady. No wonder she doesn't allow Aunt Hong to pee, so no one dares to pee.
Turning around the cloister, even if he really stepped into the backyard, he only felt that the temperature here was slightly higher than the outside, but there were no obvious stoves and braziers around him, which surprised him.
"There is no heating equipment here. It is not ordinary things that really maintain the temperature." The pendant walking in front of him seemed to hear what he thought and said.
Liu Shaoyun was shocked, but he still said quietly on the surface, "How does that make it warm?"
"You don't need to know this. Even if you know it, you can't imitate it." The pendant replied coldly.
Liu Shaoyun is a little angry. After all, he is also a young master from a large family. Although he has no official position, he still knows the etiquette of the aristocracy. If a servant like a pendant talks to him like this, if it were an ordinary family, he would have been punished by the master. But he also vaguely felt that the pendant did not look like a slave, and there was a kind of contempt in her words, as if she had not been paid attention to by her.
After bypassing Lianchi, he went downstairs. He stood by the door and saluted Liu Shaoyun slightly and said, "Please come in."
Liu Shaoyun only saw the front of the pendant at this time. At this moment, although she still covered her face with a green gauze, this thin gauze could not cover up much of her real appearance, but made her mysterious. In terms of appearance, this woman can obviously be called a beautiful woman. Even in the red sleeve building, there are not many appearances that are better than her. Such a woman was actually just a maidservant. Combined with her strong attitude just now, she gave Liu Shaoyun an illusion that she was originally a daughter with identity and family background, and the poor family fell into a slave.
He didn't know anything about the truth, but he took it for granted, and his bad feeling about the pendant suddenly eased a lot.
The small building has two floors. Below is a simple living room. There is not much decoration, and even a lot of furniture. It looks quite empty, but the second floor faintly comes the sound of a few pianos.
Liu Shaoyun entered the house and wanted to go up the stairs.
The style of the second floor is completely opposite to the one below. It is not only exquisitely decorated, but also hung with gauze around it, creating a hazy beauty. The room is divided into two rooms inside and outside, separated by a heavy curtain in the middle. At this moment, the sound of the piano comes from behind the curtain.
Just as he was about to go up to open the curtain, he heard a voice behind him and said, "Mr. Liu, please sit outside for a while."
Liu Shaoyun turned around and went upstairs silently. At this moment, he was pulling a chair away and signaling him to do it here.
"Is this the way Dream Girl treats guests?" Liu Shaoyun didn't go to sit down, but stared at the curtain and said, "Just drive the guests outside and hide in it. Can't even show your face?"
"Please forgive Mr. Liu. The little girl can't meet someone she knows. Please sit outside." The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and a slightly low but still soft voice said, "Besides, this is just a little mantle, and it doesn't affect our conversation."
"Does the dream girl have any difficulties? Can you guess that it has something to do with the owner here? Seeing that Miss Meng said so, Liu Shaoyun did not insist, but obediently sat on the chair that the pendant opened for him.
